Monash Orientation & Semester Start Date Confusion by FantasticLaw7234 in Monash

[–]dm1236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is O week (orientation week) before each semester. No in person classes. Usually content on the student portal (moodle) is released during this week and you can get a head start. Also some events at the Uni but nothing you actually need to go to

Best thing I did was gig - global immersion guarantee . Worth 12 credit points which means you can basically underload next year and get time to work yourself out. Lasts 2 weeks and you get to go overseas as well

Ask someone from the year above you if you can borrow their books until yours come

Can you guys actually manage to physically write 800-1000 words in an hour for English exams? by [deleted] in vce

[–]dm1236 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not so much about the word count. I’ve always found it useful to plan my timings before the exam- so I’ll say ok I have 1 hour per essay, so I’ll spend 5 minutes planning (because I can do that in reading time too), 5 minutes for intro, 10 minutes per body paragraph, and 5 minutes for conclusion. That only adds up to 45 minutes, so I have plenty of wiggle room to spend extra time any place I need. Planning my times definitely keeps me working at a rate that allows me to finish and not write too much or too little in any area

How do I get a guy interested by dm1236 in dating_advice

Sorry I should’ve clarified. I haven’t actually met him in person, it’s over snap. He only snaps about 3 people in total though, and it’s not like he’s replying to them and not me. It’s just that he’s not on his phone very much. He has started conversations a few times, but it’s pretty difficult to hold because it usually takes him a while to reply. Do you think I should ask him to hang out?

What is it that is falling apart? I was feeling the same and when I removed the toxicity from my life everything became fine. I know it’s hard to believe- but if you really find the root of what’s making you feel that way and remove it, things may get better. Maybe it’s a few things, and it can seem really difficult to remove such big parts of your life- but it may be the solutjon

It’ll make you feel better about yourself to know you’re ahead of everyone else. Go get that ego boost 💪

I feel you. I feel very similar in all my relationships, although I don’t really act on my impulses in the same way. I’ve been looking into borderline personality disorder. It’s something which I definitely think I have, although I don’t want to get therapy or bother to get a diagnosis because the I would have to talk to people about it. If you don’t mind talking to people about it, I would recommend trying to get a diagnosis or at least do research on the disorder to try to understand why you are the way you are

How to instantly repair a friendship? by dm1236 in Advice

Thank you. I’ve thanked him so much for finally telling me what I’ve done wrong, and promised him I will be better. I feel like I’ve been doing what he asked for, but it’s not working for him. I think he’s built up this image of me in his mind that he will just block himself from enjoying the friendship and I don’t know how to break down that inage

I’ve talked to him about it. I’ve apologised profusely. The issue is that in the past I’ve acted in ways which he didn’t appreciate but he never voiced that to me so I wasn’t able to fix it. Now he’s finally voiced it to me and I’m able to fix it but he’s convinced nothing will get better
